about

I wrote this thinking about how crippling low self esteem is for people. Sometimes we define ourselves by what we see in the mirror, so this is a song I wrote to really not let mirrors distort people's way of thinking.

lyrics

Verse 1:
You hide in the dark,
but I'll light this spark.
Take my hand,
the offer still stands.

(Chorus):
Assuming your reflection
is the wrong complexion?
No, baby. No, lovely.
Throw away the obsession
to be the face of perfection
Please, oh please.

Put your mind over mirrors.
Put your mind over mirrors.

Verse 2:
I dare you to believe me that the mirror you only see,
and the time it takes to analyze and criticize your flaws
is not the driving force to your fate.
It is not the driving force to your fate.

(Chorus)

Bridge:
And your struggle does not define you,
It is a part of who you are.
And the battles you chose to fight
are what got you this far.
So don't let these mirrors take over your own mind.
Let your mind take over these mirrors.

(Chorus)
